Description

Autonomous entry method and device for power saving mode, electronic equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of autonomous access technologies in power saving modes, and in particular, to an autonomous access method and apparatus for a power saving mode, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

Background

The power saving mode (Power Saving Mode, PSM) is an independent state introduced in 3gpp r12, and can be used in networks such as broadband access technology (Cellular Asynchronous Transfer Mode, CATM) and narrowband internet of things (Narrowband Internet of Things, NB-IoT) based on an asynchronous transfer mode, which is an important feature of low power consumption devices. With the large-scale popularization and use of low power consumption devices, a situation where a terminal supporting PSM needs to enter PSM is often encountered. The basic principle of PSM is that a terminal enters PSM state after it is in idle state for a period of time; at this time, the radio frequency part of the terminal stops working, and the terminal application server (Application Server, AS) accesses the layer to stop part of related functions, so AS to reduce the consumption of part of power consumption such AS radio frequency and signaling processing, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the power consumption. Since the radio frequency part of the terminal stops working, paging and scheduling of the network cannot be received, the PSM mode can be exited only when the tracking area update (Tracking Area Update, TAU) is equal to the periodicity and the terminal needs to send data, and after the PSM mode is exited, the data can be directly sent without reestablishing the packet data network (Packet Data Network, PDN) connection.

Currently, in the case where the terminal supports PSM, it is required that the terminal negotiates a period of PSM with the network at the time of registering the network. If the network supports PSM, the terminal is configured with PSM related parameters, and enters a PSM mode according to the PSM parameters; if the network does not support PSM, the terminal cannot enter PSM mode.

Hereinafter, an autonomous entry method of a power saving mode disclosed in the present application will be described in detail.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flow chart of an autonomous entering method of a power saving mode according to an embodiment of the present application. The autonomous entering method of the power saving mode comprises the following steps:

201: sending a connection request to a network side;

in this embodiment, the terminal may transmit a connection Request (Attach Request) to register the network, and based on this, negotiate PSM parameters with the network side. Specifically, the Attach Request sent by the terminal may carry PSM parameters expected by the terminal, for example: the values of the Active Timer (T3324) and the periodic location update Timer (Periodic TAU Timer, T3412).

202: and receiving a connection reply returned by the network side, and determining the power saving mode parameter according to the connection reply.

In this embodiment, whether the network side supports the terminal to enter the PSM mode may be determined according to whether a field of the PSM parameter is included in the Attach Accept reply (Attach Accept). Specifically, when the field containing the PSM parameter in the Attach Accept, it is explained that the network side support terminal enters the PSM mode, the PSM parameter carried in the Attach Accept is extracted as the power saving mode parameter. When the Attach Accept does not contain the field of the PSM parameter, the network side is not supported to enter the PSM mode, and the terminal autonomously determines the power saving mode parameter according to the preset parameter. The preset parameters may be, for example, operation parameters of the terminal, such as: operational parameters such as the period of requested activity, the period of periodic tracking area updates (Tracking Area Update, TAU), and/or device parameters.

Specifically, taking the operation parameter as an example, the terminal may set the value of T3324 as the request active period of the terminal and the value of T3412 as the period of the periodic TAU of the terminal. Therefore, the period of the terminal entering the PSM mode is matched with the running period of the terminal, and the power consumption is further saved.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment, in order to ensure normal operation and performance optimization of the network, no influence is made on other devices, and the method provided by the embodiment is suitable for terminals with interaction frequency lower than a preset threshold value with the network side, namely terminals with low interaction frequency with the network are not needed.

203: and automatically entering the power saving mode according to the power saving mode parameter entry strategy.

In this embodiment, after determining the power saving mode parameter, the terminal enters the PSM mode after a period of time in the idle state (T3324), and exits the PSM mode after a timeout at T3412 or after a manual key trigger exits the PSM, the terminal exits the PSM mode and sends a periodic TAU notification to the network side.

In summary, in the autonomous entering method of the power saving mode provided by the application, aiming at the terminal which does not need to interact with the network frequently, when the network replies that the terminal is not supported to enter the PSM, the terminal can enter the PSM mode autonomously after entering the idle state for a period of time according to the period of the periodic TAU; when the periodic TAU timer is overtime or the terminal has data to send, the terminal exits the PSM mode to transmit data. Therefore, the terminal can greatly save electric quantity, and the purpose of saving power consumption is achieved.
